Whole Foods fired Ryan, a cook, on October 30, shortly after 16 workers in
JP petitioned for a $1/hr raise, in the face of long hours and extra work.
The employees also asked for improvements in conditions, such as constant
high temperatures, which were making some of them sick. Ryan's was the
first name on the petition.
Please join Ryan's supporters tomorrow (Friday), starting at 4 pm, at a
picket <https://www.facebook.com/events/1240070326018853/> of the JP Whole
Foods, 413 Centre Street (Jackson Square or Stonybrook T on the Orange
Line). Let's show Whole Foods we won't tolerate retaliation against workers
who take group action to improve their wages and working conditions.
An Injury to One is an Injury to All! This protest is sponsored by the
Student Labor Action Movement.
